Thanks for the reply - I want to get Avid springs in my SC10 and my B4.1 but was hoping to just buy 1 set of rears. It seems though, that yellows are the preferred choice in the rear for both.

I ran the whites in the rear of my sc10 until i got a second set, worked pretty good still.

Thanks in advance.

It's super easy to install, just start and you'll see. Some tips, locktight the screw that run upside down, these will come loose on your after some runs (and don't over-tighten) as it will cause some steering bind.

Kuya thanks for the tips.

Got the Avid bell crank installed and yes it wasn't too hard. Being a noob everything is a little bit of a challenge tho .

I figured out about not over-tightening the upside down screws cuz of the binding but I didn't put lock-tite in there. Should I go back in?

Any screw that does not go into plastic needs threadlock on it.

Ok thanks for that Atom. I was just leery of using threadlock out of fear of binding in the steering linkage. I guess no need to worry.

Use it sparingly and be careful on what it does get on or else it can bind. Just put a drop on the screws that go into the rack.
